We had a wonderful weekend! God always works things out in such surprising and awesome ways. After church, we attended a get-together with those who went to Honduras in March, and then we went to see the location where some friends are building a house. They've built a barn with an apartment in it, so we gathered inside with them--8 of us in all. We enjoyed visiting and then felt we should pray, so we joined hands and dedicated their new location to the Lord. The presence of God could be felt, we sang some songs, and then they prayed over our ministry. We received the following from God about In His Steps Ministry and the next trip: God has everything planned, provision will be behind every door, we must seek him, and we will find a strength on this trip like never experienced before. Did we get a word as to where we will travel? No. When? No. We are waiting for the perfect time to leave knowing that God will reveal it to us when we are ready and everything is in place.
And the dogwood tree? Well, there are still quite a few blooms on it. We had one more event happen this week that we knew we needed to be here for. My husband's place of business was broken into last night. Someone threw a brick through the door and took some merchandise. Are we discouraged? No. Have we lost hope? No. If anything, it has brought us closer to God. We have been in a spiritual battle and know this is just one repercussion or retaliation for our obedience to God. Knowing we are doing what God intended and are making headway gives us added determination, added faith in God, and a KNOWING that he will take care of all of our battles.
Keep us in your prayers,
Judy
